Your Employee Retention Checklist

While there may be signs that the Great Resignation is easing slightly, it’s clear the exodus of workers is a challenge leaders will have to contend with for the foreseeable future. A Workhuman® iQ survey of more than 3,500 workers in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, and Canada offers some revealing insights into the root causes of why employees are leaving their jobs – and a road map on how companies of all sizes can retain more of their talented humans.

The pandemic has forced a dramatic shift in the employer-employee relationship. It’s also helped workers realize what really matters when it comes to their careers. Of those workers planning to look for a new job, nearly one-third (30%) cited “I want more flexibility” as their primary reason for doing so. That number jumped to 39% for Black workers. For women, higher pay was the number one reason to look for a job.
